Abstract
The relationship between language, actors and the specific social contexts in which they speak emerges as a prevalent theme in this issue. This is due in part to the mobilities of populations, amplified to varying degrees by the competing social forces of the 21st century: both the good, such as lifestyle and education; and the not-so-good, such as economic pressure and conflict. In various ways, the papers in this second issue of Volume 17 describe how this experience of mobility - both terrestrial and virtual – can vary in relation to the amount of capital, both economic and cultural, with which our sojourners travel: from Mendez-Garcia’s postgraduate sojourners in Spain to Park’s South-East Asian marriage migrants in Korea; from Lapresta, Huguet and Fernández-Costales’s inward migrants to Catalonia to Dong’s ‘空中飞人’ (‘flying people)’ in Beijing; from Chen’s Chinese students using social media in the USA to Akiyama’s eTandem intercultural interlocutors; and from Zhu’s university students in China and the USA to Koshiba’s bilingual secondary school pupils in Australia.
